Career Goals

It is my pri­ma­ry goal to become a com­mer­cial air­line pilot. I am pas­sion­ate about avi­a­tion, and ulti­mate­ly, I would like to spend as much time as I can in the air. In order to gain the hours nec­es­sary to fly for an air­line, I plan to work as a flight instruc­tor at my local air­port once I have com­plet­ed my com­mer­cial pilot train­ing and instruc­tor rating.

My sec­ondary career goal is to grow my non-prof­it char­i­ty into a self-sus­tain­ing orga­ni­za­tion. I am pas­sion­ate about mak­ing my com­mu­ni­ty a more inclu­sive place for peo­ple with neu­ro­di­ver­si­ties. I am aware of a major lack of edu­ca­tion­al and employ­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties for neu­ro­di­ver­gent peo­ple in British Colum­bia, and I plan on doing every­thing in my pow­er to address this gap. I want to expand my char­i­ty’s pro­gram­ming to include sev­er­al skills-build­ing and recre­ation­al pro­grams for neu­ro­di­ver­gent youth in my com­mu­ni­ty, and also start a day pro­gram for home­schooled neu­ro­di­ver­gent youth where they can come togeth­er to study and socialize.

I would also love to start a ‘sup­port com­mu­ni­ty’ for neu­ro­di­ver­gent adults who are unable to live inde­pen­dent­ly, and who would ben­e­fit from being part of a close-knit and safe com­mu­ni­ty of peo­ple. For this, I will need a lot of land, and the means to pur­chase and run sev­er­al ‘tiny homes’ capa­ble of hous­ing neu­ro­di­ver­gent sin­gles and / or cou­ples. I will also need to pro­vide sup­port work­ers to check in on the adults housed in the community. 

In short — I plan on pur­su­ing a career in avi­a­tion, while work­ing on the side to make my com­mu­ni­ty a more inclu­sive place.
